The Smartest Animal

Once there was a farmer from
Laos. Every morning and every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo.
One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The tiger
was very surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. The tiger
wanted to know more about the big animal and the small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; “you are so big and
strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you?” The buffalo answered; “oh,
the man is very intelligent”.
The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”. “No, I can’t tell
you”, said the buffalo; “but you can ask him”
So the next day the tiger asked to the man; “Can I see your intelligence?”. But
the man answered; “it at home”. “Can you go and get it?” asked the tiger. “Yes”
said the man; “but I am afraid you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I
tie you to a tree?”
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn’t go home to get his
intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said; “Now you know
about my intelligence even you haven’t seen it.
